A wildfire has burned 450 acres in Shelby County
Winds drove the flames up a ridge, endangering nearly a dozen homes and creating a scary situation for homeowners.
Crews from area fire departments and the Alabama Forestry Commission worked to control the fire by creating breaks, and a state helicopter was brought in to douse the wildfire with water. Officials haven’t said what caused the fire, but it started at an address in a subdivision near Vandiver and authorities say it’s a bad time to burn debris.
